Answer:

a) 2.2 m/s² b) 8 s

Explanation:

a) Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can use any of the kinematic equations to solve the question.

As we don´t know the time needed to accelerate, we can use the following equation:

vf2 – vo2 = 2*a*∆x

At first, we can convert the values of vf, vo and ∆x, to SI units, as follows:

vf = 65 mi/h* (1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 29 m/s

vo = 25 mi/h *(1,605 m / 1mi) * (1h/3,600 sec) = 11.2 m/s

∆x = 0.1 mi*(1,605 m / 1mi) = 160.5 m

Replacing these values in (1), and solving for a, we have:

a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 321 m = 2.2 m/s2

b) In order to obtain the time needed to reach to 65 mi/h, we can rearrange the equation for the definition of acceleration, as follows:

vf = vo + at  

Replacing by the values already known for vo, vf and a, and solving for t, we get:

t = vf-vo /a = (29 m/s – 11.2 m/s) / 2.2 m/s = 8 sec

Answer:

Technician A only

Explanation:

The application of the breaks by stepping on the break pedal moves the pedal pushrod and plunger forward within the diaphragm plate, bringing about the contact between the vacuum port seal and the vacuum valve that closes the vacuum port and the passage that connects the left and right chambers such that the pressure in one chamber and te vacuum in the other chamber are held steady.

Given the following MATLAB statement: ( 3 + 2 ) / 5 * 4 + 5 ^ 2 In what order will these operations be done?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

first is the parentheses, (3+2)=5 next is the exponent 5^2=25, next is the division 5 / 5 = 1, then the multiplication 4*1=4 and then you add 4+25=29. so the answer is 29.

You are in charge of ordering the concrete for a basement wall concrete pour. The wall forms are all set up and ready. The wall
choli [55]

Answer:

189.15cy

Explanation:

To understand this problem we need to understand as well the form.

It is clear that there is four wall, two short and two long.

The two long are \rightarrow 120ft5in+2(10ft)

The two long are \rightarrow 122ft1in=122.08ft

The two shors are \rightarrow 86ft4.5in = 86.375ft

The height and the thickness are 14ft and 0.83ft respectively.

So we only calculate the Quantity of concrete,

Q_c = [(2*122.08)+(2*86-375)]*14*0.833\\Q_c=4864.02ft^3

That in cubic yards is equal to 180.15 (1cy=27ft^3)

Hence, we need order 5% plus that represent with the quantity

Q_{ordered}=1.05*180.15=189.15cy
